A Great Big World’s Live Performance Of “Say Something” Will Give You Goosebumps

A Great Big World blew the roof off of Manhattan’s Highline Ballroom last night, playing their new album Is There Anybody Out There? in its entirety in front of a live audience for the first time ever. The album doesn’t officially drop until Tuesday (1/21), but if you were lucky enough to snag a ticket for the sold-out show or you tuned into the VH1 livestream last night, you got to pay witness to a new act really starting to come into its own. But if you happened to miss the show, you’re in luck — we’ll be rolling out clips from last night’s big show over the course of the next couple of days.

Not surprisingly, the biggest cheers of the night were reserved for A Great Big World’s #1 smash, “Say Something.” The track is bearing down on the 2 million download mark and has reached the level of cultural ubiquity where people who don’t necessary recognize the name “A Great Big World” (yet!) are saying, “Oh yeah, I know that song.” It’s on a track to be one of the most culturally resonant ballads of this decade, and the live version from last night’s concert is guaranteed to give you a few goosebumps.

Come back on Monday to see “Rockstar” (the lead track from Is There Anybody Out There?) and “Shorty Don’t Wait,” and on Tuesdaythat’s release day!we’ll have “This Is The New Year” (the song that earned them a record deal) and “I Really Want It.” Enjoy!
